Your profile says your parents are in a rehab facility. Discuss the situation with the social worker there and let this person know there is not a safe environment at home for them to be released. If needed call Adult Protective Services and report the situation. Your mother likely needs meds to help calm her behavior as your father needs to live in peace

Hi boneznbelle - you said your father is bedridden, so when their fights become violent, do you mean that your mother physically abuses your father?

If so, he really needs to be protected from his wife. Your sister could call his doctor and explain to the doc what was going on and ask the doc to write an order to have your dad move to a nursing home, asap.

You said your dad would not eat. He would not eat at all or just sometimes? How long has it been?
